No, of course that is not okay, as it is direct marketing, hoping you will 
buy the item, trying to influence you as a HCP, without you asking for it.
This, indeed, is something different than, as Gonneke says, letting people 
know, when they visit the store/website, that the item is for sale.

Kindly,

bottles as equally sensible alternatives to exclusive breastfeeding ;o))
